.TH MONSTERWM 1 monsterwm .SH NAME monsterwm \- minimal and dynamic tiling window manager .SH SYNOPSIS .B monsterwm .RB [ \-v ] .SH DESCRIPTION monsterwm is a very minimal, lightweight, tiny but monsterous, dynamic tiling window manager with partial floating mode support. It will try to stay as small as possible. .P .SH MODES It allows the "normal" method of tiling window managers (with the new window as the master) and with the new window opened at the bottom of the stack .P .B monsterwm three other modes available: .I Bottom stack where the slave clients (the smaller "windows") are tiled beneath the master. .I Grid mode where, once there are four or more cliens in a workspace, they are all equally divided into a grid. .I Monocle mode or fullscreen mode, where the clients take up the entire workspace, and additional clients are hidden behind the current shown window. .I Partial floating mode where, windows can move and be resized freely in the screen space, as long as no window is added or removed, except if that window is transient. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-v prints version information to standard output, then exits. .SH USAGE .SS Status bar monsterwm does not provide a status bar. Consistent with the Unix philosophy, monsterwm provides information to the status bar or panel of choice via text. .SS Keyboard and mouse commands All of .I monsterwm's commands can be customized by editing .I config.h and recompiling. The default key-bindings include: .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-Return Start .BR xterm (1). .TP .B Mod4\-v Start .BR dmenu (1). .TP .B Mod1\-b Toggles the panel on and off. .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-t Sets tiled layout. .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-m Sets monocle layout. .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-b Sets bottom stack layout .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-g Sets grid layout .TP .B Mod1\-j Focus next window. .TP .B Mod1\-k Focus previous window. .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-j Move the focussed window down the stack .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-k Move the focussed window up the stack .TP .B Mod1\-l Increase master area size. .TP .B Mod1\-h Decrease master area size. .TP .B Mod1\-Return Swaps the focused window to/from master area (tiled layouts only). .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-{Left,Right} Rotate to the next/previous desktop .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-c Close focused window. .TP .B Mod1\-Tab Toggles to the last selected desktop. .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-q Quit monsterwm. .TP .B Mod1\-F{1..n} Move to the nth workspace. By default, .I monsterwm is configured with four workspaces. .TP .B Mod1\-Shift\-F{1..n} Move focused window to nth workspace. .TP .B Mod1\-Button1 Dragging the mouse will move the selected window .TP .B Mod1\-Button3 Dragging the mouse will resize the selected window .TP .B Mod4\-Button3 will bring up .I dmenu .TP .SH CUSTOMIZATION .I monsterwm is customized by copying .I config.def.h to .I config.h and (re)compiling the source code. .SH SEE ALSO .BR dmenu (1) .SH BUGS .I monsterwm is under active development.
